Water Resource Management Decision Support Systems
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)A water resources management decision support system (WRMDSS) consists of integrated computer hardware and software packages readily usable by managers as an aid for making implementation and operations decisions. WRMDSSs ... -
Central Arizona Project Supervisory Control System
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)The Central Arizona Project (CAP), one of the nation's largest water conveyance systems, is designed to deliver much of Arizona's allotment of Colorado River water for municipal, industrial, and agricultural uses in central ... -
Interactive Simulation of Water Resource Systems
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)Interactive computer simulation is presented as an off‐line decision support tool for training operators of complex water resource systems to define effective operational policy. The ability of the operator or analyst to ... -
The Windy Gap Project Scada System
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)The Windy Gap Project consists of a diversion dam on the Colorado River, a 600 cfs -
Computer Models in Lower Colorado River Operations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)The Lower Colorado Region, U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation), is responsible for maintaining and operating Hoover, Davis, and Parker Dams, and the appurtenant reservoirs and powerplants. Operation of this dam and ... -
Improving Performance of Irrigation/Hydro Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)Large‐scale water resburce projects must be operated and maintained so that the benefits for which they were built actually occur. The key to substantial improvement in project performance is in operating the various project ... -
Explicit Pipe Network Calibration
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)In order to improve the reliability of hydraulic network models as well as eliminate the need for trial‐and‐error calibration methods, an explicit calibration algorithm is proposed. The calibration algorithm is formulated ... -
Optimal Control Model for Groundwater Management
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)An optimal control management model for spatial and temporal allocation of groundwater is presented. The management model integrates a physically‐based finite‐difference aquifer simulation model, and a linear‐quadratic ... -
Challenges for Water Management in Tucson, Arizona
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)Tucson, AZ is one of the nation's largest cities entirely dependent on groundwater for its water supplies. It faced a 1980 overdraft of over 60% of the area's total groundwater withdrawals. The quality of its diminishing ... -
Flood Control Benefits Revisited
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)This paper provides a brief description of the most common method of calculating urban flood damages‐prevented benefits and critically appraises the data, assumptions, and techniques that may lead to erroneous estimates ... -
Implications of Sporhase in Water‐Resource Planning
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)Conflicts occur between the commerce clause of the US Constitution and state statutes that forbid the export of water to other states. In Nebraska versus Sporhase, such a conflict was examined and a far‐reaching decision ... -
Case Study: Pipe Network Model Calibration Issues
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)This paper illustrates that it is possible to calibrate accurately a mathematical model of a complicated water distribution system (271 nodes, 307 pipes, 9 pressure reducing valves) if adequate and accurate data are ... -
Regional Skew with Weighted LS Regression
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)A statistical procedure is developed for estimating generalized skew coefficients used in the WRC Guidelines for flood frequency estimation. The method is based on weighted least squares regression in which the weights are ... -
Toxic Screening Models for Water Supply
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)Many water utilities in the United States depend upon surface water as their primary source of drinking water. Toxic screening models can be used to provide a means for identifying and assessing the pollutants likely to ... -
Water Supply System Models with Capacity Expansion
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)An optimization model for designing an economical regional water supply system, which consists of water production and water transmission facilities, is presented. Water demands are assumed to be increasing over a planning ... -
Water Quality Management for the Great Lakes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)Results from a study of water quality planning and management alternatives for the Great Lakes are used to identify cost‐effective pollution control strategies. Mathematical models and other systems analysis techniques are ... -
Operational Planning for California Water System
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)A detailed river basin simulation model has been developed by the California Department of Water Resources to simulate the combined operation of two major water project systems in California, namely the Central Valley ... -
Water Resources and the Public Trust Doctrine
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)The expansion of the concept and application of the Public Trust Doctrine (PTD) to water rights and the attendant water resource is considered. The Public Trust Doctrine traditionally has been limited to lands over which ... -
Research Needs in Urban Storm‐Water Pollution
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)This paper presents the results of an analysis of research needs in urban storm‐water pollution control. This assessment of needs is based on evaluation of the state of the art in four areas: urban runoff characterization, ... -
